Background Information
Fibrillarin (Fbl) is an essential nucleolar protein that plays an essential role in ribosome biogenesis and more particularly in the methylation of ribosomal RNAs and rDNA histones. FBL is highly expressed in various cancers and correlates with poor survival outcomes in cancer patients,such as hepatocellular carcinoma(PMID: 33376525). Knockdown of FBL sensitizes tumor cells and xenografts to DNA crosslinking agents, and leads to homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair defects(PMID: 37489617).

Reviews
What customers say
All four reviews rate the antibody 5 stars. Users report strong, specific signals in both Western blot and immunofluorescence across human and mouse samples. The antibody performed well at dilutions of 1:100 and 1:1000. One reviewer tested multiple fixation methods (2% and 4% formaldehyde, methanol) and found it compatible with all, noting that 4% formaldehyde yielded the cleanest signal. Overall, customers describe reliable performance with clear banding in WB and crisp nucleolar/cellular staining in IF, with no reported issues across different cell types and tissues.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Tatyana (Verified Customer) (03-11-2023) | Very strong, specific nucleolar signal in ICC. 4% PFA fixation followed by methanol permeabilization; antibody prepared in 5% goat serum in PBST; 2 h RT incubation (no blocking step).
|
WEI (Verified Customer) (03-12-2020) | Good, strong band for WB and correct staining for cardiomyocytes.
|
Lauren (Verified Customer) (02-20-2020) | Fixations tested include 2% and 4% formaldehyde for 20 minutes, and -20'C methanol for 10 minutes. Antibody works in all three fixations, but 4% formaldehyde gave the cleanest signal.
